As mentioned by Holger, you can either create a startup script that runs
insmod each time it boots, or you can have the system do it automatically.

If you want the system to do it automatically, you should copy dazuko.o
into /lib/modules/<your kernel version>/kernel/fs. Then you can run
depmod. This allows your system to notice that dazuko is there. After
doing that, you can add dazuko to /etc/modules (for Debian) or just type:

modprobe dazuko

to load it. This is a topic that should be covered on the website.
Unfortunately it is not. If you have your own program that needs Dazuko,
then it might be easiest to have a script load Dazuko before loading
your program.

I hope that in the future there is some good documentation about this on
the Dazuko website (or at least links to website that document how to
auto-load modules).
